A simple roundup of coin magic: beginner tricks where you can easily try palms and gimmicks (21–30)
A magic trick where a coin passes through the hand
It’s a magic trick where a coin held in your hand seems to pass through and appear on the back of your hand when you shake it up and down.
In reality, you leave a slight opening on the thumb side, briefly tilt that side upward as you shake, and use centrifugal force to flick the coin out.
With a bit of practice, it’s quite easy to do.
Coin vanish using a finger palm
Finger palm is a fundamental coin magic technique where a coin is secretly held by pinching it between the base of the ring or middle finger and the area around the second knuckle.
Using this, you can perform vanishes and teleportation-style coin effects.
To vanish a coin with a finger palm, pretend to transfer the coin from your right hand to your left, but keep it in your right hand by going into finger palm—that’s all.
This technique of making it look like you passed the coin when you didn’t, called a fake pass, is best practiced in front of a mirror.
During patter, you can secretly drop the coin held in your right hand under the table, or segue directly into the next effect, and the vanish is complete.
Magic where a coin disappears from your hand and reappears somewhere else
It’s a magic trick where a coin you were holding vanishes and then appears somewhere else, like at the edge of the table.
It doesn’t require any special gimmicks and is quite simple, but I think it has a strong impact.
Use effective misdirection to guide the audience’s gaze and make the trick a success.
Communication Magic Through Business Card Exchange
When you receive a business card, say, “Looks like we have a connection!” and perform a trick where you produce a five-yen coin from the card.
Hold the prepared five-yen coin concealed behind the card, and as you give the card a light shake, make the coin appear.
Move the card naturally and show both sides to emphasize that there’s no trick involved.
Since you’ll be holding the coin along the back side, cover it with your fingers and shift it toward the edge when showing the back to keep it hidden.
It’s a magic trick you can use in many situations as long as you have a card and a coin.
A magic trick where the coin in your hand disappears
Making a coin disappear in your hand is a classic magic trick! It’s simple, yet truly astonishing.
Here are three ways to perform a vanishing coin trick.
To make the coin appear to vanish, you can hide it in your hand, flick it into your sleeve, or drop it onto your lap.
These tricks require technique and practice, but if you keep at it, you’ll succeed—so stick with it patiently.
It’s best to practice in front of a mirror or by recording yourself to make sure the coin isn’t visible to your audience.
Teleportation using two coins
A magic trick that moves two coins using only the left and right hands.
In reality, at the moment they’re hidden by the hand’s shadow, you flick the coins to make it look like they teleport.
You’ll need a surface where sounds won’t carry, such as a table with a mat, but it’s recommended for beginners who’ve just started coin magic and want to practice.
Love Vanish
Love Vanish, which makes a coin disappear while rubbing it against the table, is one of the techniques used in coin magic.
Unlike a common coin vanish, where you pretend to make the coin disappear while secretly palming it, this method doesn’t hide it in the hand—you actually let it drop under the table.
First, practice the move of gradually shifting the coin in your hand while rubbing it on the table in a circular motion.
Then, since you’ll catch it on your knee to avoid making a sound, try using a napkin or handkerchief as padding to help keep things quiet!
